Posting of visual data in the social network has now become a common trend. Mainly, users are posting selfies or facial images over the social media that depict various moods at different instances. This has attracted the attention of researchers to come up with facial expression mining from social media images.

Often times the datasets are quite imbalanced and sampling techniques like Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) give only moderate accuracy in such cases. To overcome this problem, a two-step approach has been proposed.

Article Synopsis
- - The Madagascar periwinkle plant is significant for producing terpenoid indole alkaloids, which are low-yield but high-value compounds, making their extraction expensive and a focus for plant biotechnology research.
- - The study investigates how metal stress, particularly from zinc and copper, affects the accumulation of secondary metabolites like alkaloids, phenolics, and flavonoids in the Madagascar periwinkle when grown in pot culture conditions.
- - Results indicate that higher concentrations of these metals enhance the production of specific phytochemicals, and plants grown in contaminated soils produce varying amounts of these compounds compared to those in cleaner garden soils.
Cervical cancer is caused by infection with high risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV). Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), a soluble factor involved in chronic inflammation, may modulate cervical cancer risk among HPV infected women. The aim of the study was to measure and correlate plasma nitrite/nitrate levels with tissue specific expression of iNOS mRNA among women with different grades of cervical lesions and cervical cancer.

Methods: Samples were selected from women participating in a cervical cancer screening study according to HPV, visual inspection with acetic acid, or Pap smear screening results. From 432 of 892 selected women, split sample aliquots were tested for HPV DNA using both the Hybrid Capture 2 assay and the Roche prototype line blot assay.
